Directions:
In a large bowl beat butter on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking powder and salt. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg, milk and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour. Divide dough in half. Cover; chill about 30 minutes or until dough is easy to handle.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough, half at a time, until 1/8-1/4 inch thick. Using 2 1/2 inch cookie cutters, cut dough into desired shapes. Place cut outs 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 7-10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Transfer to wire racks; cool. If desired, frost with Royal icing and/or decorate with decorative candies.
